Whichever side you take, there are some procedures that have both advantages and disadvantages. With regards to Botox, there are some persistent myths that circulate on the Internet that you should avoid. That is precisely why we are here to advise you on what you should and should not trust.
FACTS ABOUT BOTOX
- Myth: It is poisonous and irritant to the skin
Truth: The truth is that it is not harmful. Indeed, it aids in muscle relaxation. It has been there for 20 years and poses no threat.
- Myth: It creates an unnatural appearance and freezes your face
Truth: This is a widespread misconception perpetuated by botched or excessive Botox treatments. However, when done correctly, it can produce some fantastic results. The changes are extremely subtle, and most people will not even notice you’ve had Botox.
- Myth: If you discontinue treatment after one session, the face deteriorates.
Truth: This treatment is effective for approximately 3-4 months. Once the effect wears off, the muscles regain full movement. As with other treatments, you must decide whether or not to schedule your next appointment.
Botox Pros
It aids in the prevention of fine lines and wrinkles almost immediately following the treatment. It requires little, if any, downtime. When it comes to Botox, safety is not an issue. It is a semi-permanent procedure with results lasting a few months. Therefore, if you decide you don’t like how it looks on you, it will naturally fade away after a few months.
Botox disadvantages
In some individuals, it may cause an allergic reaction. Your metabolism will determine how quickly your Botox will wear off. If administered by an inexperienced practitioner, Botox may produce a plastic-like effect and limit facial expressions. Botox is contraindicated in a few medical conditions. As a result, you should consult your physician. Botox is also contraindicated during pregnancy.
